Abstract (in English)

The church of the benedictine abbey of Lambach, in Upper Austria, contains eleventh century mural paintings
of the life of Christ ( ca. 1089 ). These are in the
former west choir of which one portion is preserved in
the upper section of the two west towers and in the
arch which separates them. On a painted surface of
approximately 200 square meters, 23 scenes and fragments
of scenes, several isolated figures and an ornamental
decoration can be noted. Moreover, it was
possible to save some fragments which were above, in a
crypt that had largely disappeared. Almost three
quarters of the surface have been uncovered in the last
ten years.
